Message: <blockquote data-quote="nickaelwen" data-source="post: 87028" data-attributes="member: 2454">Hi, I am looking for a practical way to develop genuine C++ skills. How can I possibly do this on my own? Get a book from the master reading list, and read all pages and do all examples? Pls ,any idea, plan, agenda, schedule are appreciated. I've just done below so I am good to go:1. installed a dedicated VM for coding environment running windows xp.2. installed VC++ express and complied boost and quantlib.3. installed matlab, python, R, excel(and all related adding),erlang,perl,mySQL,IB API,Eclipse for J2EE.4. I have 3 hours everyday dedicated to C++. The reason I made this post is that I feel hopeless to master C++ quickly by studying the book "Absolute C++" , I really do not think the example on it can make me a master, and breadth of topics are so large, I forget things I studied few days ago, and can only remember principles. Is there any community that I can join to do a C++ project and learning by contributing in real work.</blockquote>
